Hi Jonathan,

I think I'm going to change that back.  Win/os2 seems slower to open now.  I 
also changed the Dos_umb to on.  I think that's what did it.  Not sure at 
this 
point.  But I finally did a color printout in Word yesterday.  It usually 
turns 
out to be somehting simple.  I thought I had that set to on but did NOT.
 
  JDBP> BASEDEV=PRINT01.SYS /IRQ
         Should I put the IRQ #  where you have IRQ?  Mine is 7 I think.  
Isn't 
that the one LPT1 uses?  When I put this in when running OS2 2.1 the printer 
didn't work at all until the / was added to that line.  But no number after 
it.
 JDBP> (1) Look for an updated copy of the Windows printer driver.  It is
 JDBP> not unlikely that the driver itself is buggy.  It's not uncommon
 JDBP> with Windows printer drivers, believe it or not.
      I've periodically checked the Net for newer drivers.  There's the new 
Omni
one and I'll have to find that.
 JDBP> (3) Attempt to contact the printer driver manufacturers and find out
 JDBP> what the "not enough memory" message can be caused by.  It could
 JDBP> be something completely unconnected to memory, such as the
 JDBP> driver's inability to create a temporary file in your TEMP
 JDBP> directory.  It all depends from how the driver has been writtem.
 
      I've called Canon about this and they don't know anything about it.  As 
soon as i say OS/2 they practically hang up!  I called IBM and they wanted 
$190 
to discuss this with me.  If IBM wants people to use OS/2 they had better get 
a 
handle on customer relations, I think.  'Course my biggest ambition right now 
is
to sue Bill Gates for putting MS-Word out in the shape it's in.  They should 
be 
ashamed to allow such garbage out the door.  Itwould be a great program if it
would work!
      Thanks for your help.  I appreciate it.
               Andrea
